NVIDIA has already developed an nForce solution for the Hammer CPU....According to Anandtech, it is the ONLY chipset that is working perfectly with the CPU right now....All other vendors have bugs to work out with their chipsets!

Yeah... and the Hammer is finished silicon how? :p

I think it's WAY too early to call anything bug free at this point.

Just trying to save you from being flamed again, Pelly. ;)

LOL, it has to run on some kind of platform. although i would have guessed AMD was running it on one of their chipsets.
